Chapter 0217: Rose Manor

Blue Hills City.

The large concentration of demon hunters also makes it a bustling military camp.

Knowing that his strength could not compete with the demon hunters, the city lord of Blue Hill City, Count Winrill, simply gave up the city lord's mansion and moved to the Rose Manor outside the city, living a secluded life out of sight.

However, out of admiration for the demon hunters, he held some salon balls in the manor every once in a while, and graciously invited the young knights to participate. In order to attract these young knights, the Earl of Winriel even invited the most prestigious chefs from Hduran City, and invited many noblewomen and ladies and beautiful women from Blue Hill City to sing and dance every day, and live a happy life of extravagance and pleasure.

Enjoying the food and wine, hugging the charming girls, and listening to the flattery of the rich businessmen and magnates, the noble knights who had just experienced the bloody battle in the jungle seemed to have discovered the meaning of life again, and completely indulged in the hedonistic life of drunken dreams and death.

And Duke is one of them!

Born in a small aristocratic family, he has had the great dream of riding a magic horse and walking the world with a sword since he was a child. His father, a country baron, sold what little estate he had and sent him to the apprenticeship Demon Hunter Training Camp.

And he was competitive enough and lucky enough to not only successfully become a demon hunter knight, but also unexpectedly promoted to a law-breaking knight after fifteen years of hard training.

At this moment, he immediately became the pride of the entire family, and also became the leader of the famous local demon hunter knights.

The success of strangling the evil one countless times has made him a staunch defender of the Demon Hunter Knights, and a devout disciple of the great Holy Knight Lord Willis. So when a new evil war broke out, he also brought his companions here and joined the last Demon Hunter Knights.

A brutal and bloody jungle battle made him see the horror of evil wizards for the first time. His heart bleeds and his soul trembles whenever he remembers the evil witch beasts that came flooding through the dark jungle and the poor companions who mutated into ugly ghouls!

On his first few nights from the jungle, he woke up from terrible nightmares every day, drenched in cold sweat and depressed. And the knights who returned with him almost all had the same sequelae as him.

It was in view of this that when the Earl of Winriel held a banquet and invited the knights to participate, the high-ranking of the Knights, who heard the news, not only did not stop it, but happily sent the knights who were traumatized.

The defeated knightly faith may be compensated by the wine and food, and the defeat on the battlefield may be able to win the lads back from their beds.

The spacious and bright banquet hall was full of handsome men and women looking for fun, and even the elderly were dressed up well-dressed and looked personable.

Most of the beautiful ladies wore gaudy low-cut gowns, revealing their snow-white backs and deep ravines on their chests, while the gentlemen wore elaborate and ornate aristocratic dresses or neat hunting suits, occasionally chatting and laughing with goblets or inviting ladies to dance.

Waitress in crisp uniforms push silver food carts and place fine food on long tables covered with sky-blue cloths, which are accessible to others of a certain status and status. On the table were brass candlesticks, tin cutlery, and horn cups studded with silver rings.

And the beautiful waitress with a smile like a flower shuttled between the VIPs with silver plates, and sent cups of wine to the guests who drank happily.

At the edge of the hall, a small band was playing. From time to time, some bards or dancers would improvise a song and dance, which further ignited the atmosphere in the banquet hall.

Just outside the hall of the banquet hall, there are elegant and quiet corridors, flower halls, pergolas, fountains and lawns, where the grass and trees are everywhere, which is where the lovers of men and women talk freely.

At the back of the ballroom is a small bedroom with a special partition, which is not only luxuriously decorated, but more importantly, the sound insulation is also first-class!

However, in this happy moment of bright lights, in a secret wine cellar in the corner of the manor, several dark shadows were secretly gathering together, discussing something in a low voice.

"Has the target been chosen? The Lord is impatient!"

"Please return to the Lord, the target has been selected, a total of 3 Magic Breaker Knights. We'll find a way to keep them here tonight and ......."

"You have to be careful. It's not easy to ambush you, and the Lord doesn't want you to be exposed too soon, so be careful and arrange things carefully!"

"Yes, Lord Vulture, don't worry!"

"Hmm!"

In the darkness, several dark shadows muttered and talked a few words, and then quickly parted and went their separate ways.

One of them suddenly turned into a fluffy black shadow, silently flapping its wings and speeding through the shadows of the many buildings of the manor. Soon, it came to a beautiful two-story building at the rear of the estate.

Through a vent reserved in the corner, the dark shadow penetrated into the room, and then transformed into an aristocratic old man in a delicate nightgown with a slightly bald head in a master bedroom.

As he gently pulled a special velvet thread in the corner of the room, the two doors on one side of the master bedroom were opened, and a team of beautiful maids walked in quickly, quickly changing into a gorgeous dress for the aristocratic old man. And the butler in the tuxedo also stood respectfully, silently waiting for the Earl's orders.

"All the guests have arrived?" the aristocratic old man asked lightly in a nasal aristocratic tone as he raised his arms and let the maid arrange his clothes for him.

"It's already here! Especially the few that you have specially ordered, master, I have already sent someone to take care of them!" replied the butler in a soft voice.

"Where is Duke now?"

"Half an hour ago, I was chatting with the president of the Wade Chamber of Commerce in the front hall, and now I am chatting happily with Sister Sheila at the vines in the flower hall!"

"What about Barral?"

"A quarter of an hour ago I was dancing with Madame Chevlet in the antechamber, and now ...... It's already in room 7!"

"Where's Drisek?"

"He had been drinking with the Knights of Thomas and Lauer in the side hall, and it is said that he had drunk six bottles of grape spirits. I've had 5 more bottles delivered!"

"Well, you're doing a great job. The aristocratic old man nodded with satisfaction.

Just as the old man was about to step towards the front hall, the respectful butler suddenly grabbed him.

"Master, I still have a message for you?"

"Oh, what's the news?" asked the aristocratic old man in surprise.

"Lord Collier is here?"

"Collier, you said that Glorious Knight Collier?" the aristocratic old man was suddenly startled and blurted out a rhetorical question. Immediately, he lowered his head and smiled gloomily, and strode out without hesitation.

Since even the Radiant Knight has come, there is a reason for him not to show up!

So a moment later, the loud announcement of the banquet waiter sounded outside the door.

"Lord Count Winriel arrives ......"

…………

Countless black shadows are shaking, and countless witch beasts are roaring......

In the light of the flickering torches, everyone was running fast, and the sound of violent gasps was clearly audible.

Bright red clouds of fire were tumbling in the sky, and meteorites wrapped in scorching flames were whistling and falling, each falling accompanied by a violent roar and blinding firelight. Immediately after, the jungle was shivering.

At this time, even Duke couldn't help but shiver with the jungle.

Because what followed was a terrible blast of fire and an overwhelming cloud of tree debris and dirt.

The meteorites that are blown up in the sky will turn into a rain of fire that envelops the entire jungle. And the only thing Duke can do is to try to hold up the energy shield, use it to block the rain of fire, and run forward and run hard in the midst of the shaking of the earth......

Suddenly...... An ugly, vomit-hungry white monster suddenly sprang out of the grass by the side of the road, pounced on the demon hunter knight in front of Duke, and gnawed at it.

As Duke raised his rune sword with trembling hands, the ghoul suddenly looked up at him, crouched down and leaped into the air, and pounced on him viciously.

Seeing the terrifying fangs and sharp teeth rapidly enlarge in front of his eyes, Duke screamed and woke up from his nightmare and sat up from his bed. The two charming girls on the bed muttered a few words, turned over and fell asleep.

Duke wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked around the room, realizing that he was no longer in that terrible battlefield, but in a nest of tenderness. Thinking of the madness and charm of the first half of the night, Duke couldn't help but smile, and looked up to lie back in the arms of the beauty.

But somehow, he always had a vague feeling as if something dangerous was lurking around him. But after the drunken beauty had his own pleasure, even his sanity and sensitivity to danger were reduced to a minimum.

Just when he was dazed, not knowing where this inexplicable palpitation came from, two red lights suddenly lit up in the darkness of the room. The pair of red rays appeared very suddenly, almost unconsciously in front of him, and attracted his attention in an instant.

For some reason, when Duke's gaze fell on the red glow, his mind could no longer move. Although he felt a little wrong in his heart, the will weakened by repeated measures was no longer able to resist the invasion of the red mang.

Duke's face showed a look of pain, but he couldn't take his eyes off the red glow. Even with the appearance of strange fluctuations in the red mang, his spirit sank deeper and deeper, and the expression on his face became more and more calm.

Finally, he fell completely silent!

"Alright, Blood Girl, this guy has been controlled by me! In the darkness, a delicate and sweet female voice sounded.

"Well, thank you, Lord Phantom. When I go back, I will definitely deliver the things you specified to you as soon as possible. There are two more to trouble you as well!" Mary's voice also sounded in the darkness.

With a soft clatter, the female wizard called the Phantom left the room, leaving Mary with the poor prey of her mind and spirit, bewitched by illusion.

For a long time, Mary had only had a first-class witch-level vampire in Blue Hill, but she had never successfully tested it on a powerful Demon Hunter, let alone a Spellbreaker with a higher level of mental will and magic resistance.

So, taking advantage of this great opportunity, Mary spent a huge amount of money to invite the phantom to open the hearts of these law-breaking knights for her and shake their will to believe. In this way, even if Mary fails to support them at first, under the cover of illusion, these magic-breaking knights will only regard this as a new nightmare, and they will not easily expose the secrets in the Rose Manor.

In the darkness, Mary sneered softly and approached Duke!
